  • Developing and executing QA/TestPlans to test important functionality in a systematic way, usually with multiple cooperating testers.
  • Developing and run QA/Tools, which use automation to find potential bugs.
  • QA/Test Days are typically held on Thursdays to coordinate focused testing on a specific feature or component.
  • The QA team works with developers and release engineers to maintain the Release Criteria, which are used to determine what bugs count as release blockers.
